Elephants in camp certain months, a unique experience!

Dotted along the forested riverbanks, Chongwe River Camp is surrounded by wild beauty. Set at the confluence of the Chongwe and Zambezi Rivers against a beautiful mountainous backdrop, the camp offers the best views in the Lower Zambezi.

A grove of towering winterthorn trees create a shady haven for the camp below. Guests aren’t the only ones that enjoy them though, elephants frequently wander through camp to feed on the many seed pods dropped from above.

Each tent offers panoramic views along the Chongwe River. Sit out front in comfortable lounge chairs and watch the abundant wildlife visiting the banks to drink and graze on the lush grasses. The tents feature comfortable beds, ceiling fans, charging points and spacious, open air bathrooms.

During your stay enjoy an impressive variety of safari activities. By land there are game drives and walking safaris, or take to the rivers and explore with boat cruises, canoeing safaris, even tiger-fishing! In camp there is a brand-new wildlife hide great for photography, especially rare nocturnal creatures.
